The article is excellent in the present circumstances. People, both hindus and muslims should keep close watch in thier respective localities. It is we hindus and muslims who are making loud noises when somebody in our community is rounded up. But the law enforcing authorities should not harass anybody in the name suspicion. No third degree torture should allowed on any suspects. Once a person is let off after the so called torture, he becomes a sympathiser or join in a bad company out of sheer furstration or revenge, especially if the person is from a poor family. But at the same time, the Govt should take immediate action against those people who are responsible for the communal violence whether he is a hindu or muslim. There are many such people who are roaming freely with police protection. In any communal riots, it is poorest of the poor who suffers. Yes, ordinary hindus and muslims, who are poor, do not want any confrontation. They are interested only in earning for thier daily bread. Try to uderstand what the politicians or the religious leaders are barking and do not mind them at all as they will give you only lip sympathy.
